If you go to start your turntable, and not even the strobe light comes on, the first thing to troubleshoot is that your fuse is dislodged or blown. This video will show how to check the fuse.

Got mine today. Got it back on once but impossible to do it again. Terrible design. Just have to leave it off.
Putting it back is a pain in the ass. Even after this video, I still can't! Only one of ten times (or more) I get it right. So frustrating.
You know Dave, I am turning my TD160 back to original .what to make a rosewood armboard
Something seemingly so simple, yet so important! Thank you for the explanation.
Had a chance to buy a Thorens TD 125 w/ an SME 3009 type2 arm for $400. My leg is getting so tired from kicking myself in the ass.
Dave at VN I am interested in your Thorens TT!
Contact me at the website
My belt comes off on my AR turntable when on 45 RMP. Any suggestions?
Hi. How can i adjust the TP 16 tonearm height? (For vta)
way late here. very curious - Thorens TD 240 / 103. Headshell leads - are they comparable with 'standard' replacement cartridge wire leads ( technics / SME type ) - I have 2 , do not see any pins to accept the tiny clips... looks like the wires are inserted directly into a (removable ) little plug that connects to end of tonearm. these H'shells are both expensive ( Thorens $ 75. ) and hard to find.
Unsure. Not a model I ever work on, sorry
bullshit
Hello. I hope you are still active and can answer a question for me. Unfortunately, the manual on Vinyl Engine is only available for already-registered users and I can't access it. For a tracking force of 1.50-1.65 grams, what notches should I use for the anti-skating weight? Thanks again!
Hi again, don´t know if you already have a video with a safe method for cleaning and lubricating the platter bearing and shaft of a Thorens TD 125. It´s an important issue overlooked for countless of users. If you don´t have a video on tihis particular subject, can you make a simple one ?, I think instructions in the service manual are not clear enough. Thanks in advance
Hi, just wanted to say you are great at what you do and because of people like you countless of turntables are still working and don´t end in the trash. Good Job and please keep uploading new videos. Thank you. I hope your channel will grow.
What is the change of the springs good for at all? They don't look broken.
ddarch88, Thank you so much for this video. I have a very early SME 3012 tonearm and I have a same problem with end of tube. It bented very slightly. Your video is much helpfull. 😊
Are these available for purchase, the packing supplies.
I had one of these many years, exactly the same model as the one featured here, using Rega RB300 tonearm and I think a Goldring cartridge. It was an excellent turntable. I had no troube at all with bearings, suspension, it was a pleasure to listen to. The only mod I did was to lose the felt mat and replace with a cork mat, I don't think it made any difference.
That’s was great! The transport screws were something I didn’t know about and was informed by Tim University of Vinyl to inform seller prior to shipment. With that said I really didn’t know what to do to unlock them until now! Just did it Thank You! Is this Vinyl Nirvana in NH?
Hi. Can you adjust VTA and azimut on this turntable? Thanks
vta, yes. azimuth no.
Why would you want to put an acrylic platter on there for not really the right approach and acrylic mat yes
Was something that was successful with AR turntables, so gave it a shot with Thorens. I ended up discontinuing. I prefer the heavy platter system.
I can’t entirely see the demo the camera didn’t capture crucial moments
What a terrible camera job!
hi there. just got a used td165 last night 29 jan. its in ok condition just that the spindle has rust and its quite tough to load a record on the platter. gotta really push down on the record hard. do you have a suggestion to solve the rust issue? can i just use cape cod and buff the rust away? tq
how did u remove the dust cover so effortlessly? mine seems to be stuck and impossible to take off though it open and closes easily
Great video! And thanks for answering all my questions. Can’t wait to play a record on the Thorens.
Do you have any tips on how to remove the nut /thick part of the sheath where it attaches to the apparatus that raises and lowers the arm? Do you just have to bend the metal somehow? I mean how to remove the brass part from the silver thing that is in the bottom right hand corner of the screen at 2:38.
Dave, how did you set the VTA? I can’t get the cart level without the VTA way too high so it hits the dust cover. Do I need shims?
This video saved my life (and the stylus life also, LOL) thank you very kindly for sharing this!
Hello. New td 125 owner. I see no rca cable attached?
Nice video,..have a question for you, what is the proper tension and adjustment after new spring set is installed? t/y
So i just ordered the spring kit from you for my 165 but ai dont see a 3rd video to explain how much to tighten the new nuts, as far as tension goes🤷♂️
I bought my td 125 today.. a bit nervous, it needs attention. But, a dandy indeed. I love that wood stain.
I may buy this model tomorrow, whats the width and length?
Good video nice and clear. I have a question though how do you adjust the screw with the spring on after re assembly?
Brilliant well explained video. You have an excellent understanding of the mechanical operation. Might come in handy for me one day
Does anyone know about the Pro Ject Classic? Does it have the spring suspension? Also any opinions on the plinth and arm>?Thanks.
I replaced a set of new springs and my top plate won't center (line up when viewed from the top). I can twist it by hand and rotate it back square with the plinth and chasis but after it bounces a few times goes back to being off. What could it be ? I don't think it's detrimental to the sound as nothing is contacting and it's floating. it just looks strange
You appear to have two TO3 power transistors on the base board, what are they for as I don't have them on my TD125.
I can’t understand why you should replace or clean metal springs. These are totally out of sight. Replace the foam, this is a good upgrade as the foam is functional for damping the spring vibrations and foam disintegrates after 40+ years.
What is the Thoren TD 160 motor ,like to have a speed controller on my table but done know spec of the motor
Hi Dave , I have a fantastic TD 160 with Jelco TS-550S and a HanaSL and it so great😊
Dave, do you know why the Music Hall Cruise Control requires the belt to be in the 45 rpm position? I have a turntable that's designed for 33 rpm only, and am wondering if the Cruise Control would be usable with my turntable.
Also, I've ordered some new springs
Hi, great videos. Having a few problems. Platter is level, but the left side is springy, while the right hand side of the platter is much stiffer to push down. Any ideas what this could be? If the soft side of the spring are facing the outside, what are the effects?
That's the tp25 tonearm with the tp50 headshell only on the td125
Thank you
Hello, I have a TD145 and the tone arm has this light "buzz" sound that goes up and down, and is yet constantly here. So I am thinking to : - fix the tonearm, but how to identify the cause of this buzz sound and get rid of it? - replace with a new tonearm: so should I use a TP-16 one or another one? From what I understand, auto-stop may disappear if I change tonearm. Thanks to anyone who can help ! :)
